For Nathen Poem by Christal Carpenter

Heart broken
Torn and shaken
Tears fall from my eyes
Stain my pillow
Light pink and yellow
The sun refuses to rise

Dull and gray
I feel the way
I have never felt before
I cried all night
My throat is raw and tight
I want to feel this no more

I do forgive
My love will live
But I keep thinking of my fears
The world keeps turning
Tho my eyes are burning
With my salty bitter tears

My love is hurt
I feel like dirt
My thoughts refuse to close
The pain in my heart
The tears again start
My trust died like a wilted rose
